Well currently they aren't so either the contents of the
hicolor-icon-theme package should be moved to the filesystem package,
which it won't since its sortof bogus to have these dirs on a cmdline
only server / firewall. Or applications using these dirs must have a
"Requires: hicolor-icon-theme", which really isn't a problem as they
need special scriptlets to handle icons properly already.
